The path a change takes

Nothing an agent prepares reaches your CRM without passing a person. The walkthrough follows one change the whole way: an agent assembles it with its reasoning, routing decides who reviews it based on the object and the severity, the reviewer approves, edits, or rejects, and only then is anything written back.

The recording also covers what happens when nobody acts. Items do not expire silently or apply themselves after a timeout. An unreviewed change stays unreviewed, which is the conservative failure mode and the correct one.

Who reviews what

Routing is configuration, not a default you inherit. Severity, object type, and team ownership all feed it, and RevOps sets the mapping.

  • Low and medium severity typically routes to the record owner
  • Critical items route to a manager or RevOps
  • Anything customer-facing routes to a person regardless of severity
Approval routing in RevTech: who reviews a change before it is written back to the CRM.
The approval routing on a rule: which roles are notified and must review before any change is written back to the system of record. Screenshot of the RevTech application; sample data.
The decision point every routed item reaches: approve, escalate or ignore, before anything is written back.

What to take away

  • Nothing reaches your CRM without passing a person.
  • An unreviewed item stays unreviewed. Nothing applies itself on a timeout.
  • Routing is configuration you set, not a default you inherit.
